Lanzarote - Blind Crabs, Hoopoes and Volcanoes
Autor Horst Wilkens Traducere de Sabine McKigganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2009
Lanzarote owes the conservation of the island¿s specific character to the artist César Manrique. So far, the negative impact of mass tourism has largely been prevented. The nature of this island has been made accessible in an ecological and artistically sensitive way. In 1993, Lanzarote was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reservation. In face of rising visitor numbers, further efforts are necessary to ensure harmony between man and nature. Here is hope, that the label of Biosphere Reservation will drive ahead an ecologically sustainable development for Lanzarote.
